{"id":"CVE-2019-18932","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2019-18932","generatedAt":"2026-10-27T23:26:40.706Z","title":"log.c in Squid Analysis Report Generator (sarg) through 2.3.11 allows local privilege escalation.","description":"log.c in Squid Analysis Report Generator (sarg) through 2.3.11 allows local privilege escalation. By default, it uses a fixed temporary directory /tmp/sarg. As the root user, sarg creates this directory or reuses an existing one in an insecure manner. An attacker can pre-create the directory, and place symlinks in it (after winning a /tmp/sarg/denied.int_unsort race condition). The outcome will be corrupted or newly created files in privileged file system locations.","published":"2020-01-21T18:15:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:25:36.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-59","CWE-362"],"affected":["squid analysis report generator project/squid analysis report generator","opensuse/backports sle","opensuse/leap"],"epss":{"score":0.0025,"percentile":0.16201,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.25%).
